Chapter 2250: Chapter 2252: Can’t Wait to Regret After Losing It


    Under Lee Yongjin’s reminder, Lin Yi thought of a possibility.


    In China, there only seemed to be one person who could have a connection with the gene serum and Li Zhenquan.


    It was the person who had traded the serum with them before!


    Undoubtedly, the person was from China, and more specifically, from Zhong Hai.


    It just wasn’t clear yet who exactly this person was.


    Now, the problem was that the Li family had fallen into disrepute and become a target of the Central Guards Brigade.


    ...


    Once they were caught by the Central Guards Brigade, they would be subjected to severe torture, and even wishing for death would not bring it.


    If they confessed, it would expose them, so there was reason and motive for the other party to wipe out Li Zhenquan.


    And this was something Li Zhenquan must have also considered.


    Thus when the man in black came over, it naturally occurred to him that the Zhong Hai trading partner had sent someone to kill him.


    So in his dying moments, he left behind this word for whoever saw it to point to who the murderer was.


    With this information, the scope of the investigation would be greatly narrowed down, and uncovering the real identity of the other party would no longer be difficult.


    Sigh~~~


    Thinking all this, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.


    At least the formidable problem in front of him had been seemingly resolved.


    It was just a bit of a shame that if the father and son hadn’t died, he could have found out who the undercover agent was within the public security system.


    Ma Dehong’s cause of death could have been easily resolved too.


    But since they were both dead, all this was unknown, and further investigation was needed to find out.


    “Get someone to deal with the bodies, they are no longer of any use,” Lin Yi said, patting the black case.


    “As for the research material you wanted, I can’t help you with that, but at least I’ve retrieved the item for you.”


    Lee Yongjin also knew that she couldn’t blame Lin Yi any further on this matter, he had already done enough.


    “I guess it’s just my bad luck,” Lee Yongjin said.


    “But being able to get the ore back is enough for me.”


    “The item is yours, but I have one condition.”


    “Speak.”


    “You can keep this item, and I won’t say a word, but if you’re thinking of handing it over to the Korean officials, I must apologize in advance.”


    “Are you threatening me? Don’t forget this is Korea.”


    “The person’s last name is Zhou, probably a Zhonghai native, involved in a deal with Hongmen’s serum a while back.”


    “The Zhou family?”


    Qiu Yuluo muttered to herself with a hint of surprise in her tone.


    “What’s wrong? Do you know this person?”


    “There is indeed a Zhou family in Zhong Hai, named Zhou Guangyao, his son is Zhou Tianqi, who was a member of Team Four.”


    “If that’s the case, things just got a lot simpler.”


    “But I’ve paid attention to the Zhou family, after Team Four was disbanded they seemed quite quiet, with no noteworthy actions.”


    Lin Yi pondered for a few seconds, his eyes shifting.


    “Besides them, is there anyone else with the surname Zhou in Team Four?”


    “There’s another in the Northeast, and then it’s the Zhonghai Zhou Family.”


    “The Northeast one is probably unlikely, so it’s very likely them,” Lin Yi said.


    “They seem very quiet, but that doesn’t mean they’re free of faults.”


    “Do you need me to check it out?”


    “Go ahead, I think they have a big problem, the person who traded with Hongmen before could very much be them,” Lin Yi said.


    “I’ll also get Team One to check out the situation in Zhong Hai, and try to resolve these matters as quickly as possible.”


    “OK, I’ll handle it.”


    After hanging up the phone with Qiu Yuluo, Lin Yi rested his hands behind his head.


    He felt this issue was probably right on the mark.


    The only thing missing was evidence; otherwise, acting without cause could backfire on him.


    About two and a half hours later, the plane landed at Zhonghai Airport, it was past one o’clock in the morning by then.


    The three took a cab to the Peninsula Hotel, planning to rest for the night before arranging the next day’s activities.


    ...


    Since there were other matters to attend to, the next day, all three got up at six in the morning.


    And they headed to the buffet restaurant on the third floor.


    During breakfast, Lin Yi said to the two,


    “The Hongmen incident, the participants are very likely people from the Zhonghai Zhou Family, you two cooperate with Team Leader Qiu to investigate, but New Year’s Day is coming up, arrange your time and don’t let it interfere with family reunions.”


    “Reunions don’t matter, I always spend it in nightclubs.”


    Luo Qi shrugged, “I usually go on trips with good sisters, I rarely spend the holiday at home.”


    “That was then, now if you have the chance, spend more time with your parents. The Central Guard isn’t a good place, you’re adults now, some things should not be left until they’re lost to be regretted, by then it will be too late.”
